President Cleveland picked the child
up In his arms and kissed her, thanked
her and asked her name. This the lit.
tie one readily gave, but she did not
tell her residence. When she returned
home and told the incident of the day
her parents could scarcely believe II,
but when the Presidents picture and
an autograph letter of thanks came
a few days ago they were con.
vinced. The child was so delight.
ed upon receiving such q favor
from the Chief Magistrate Of the
nation that she called her teacher and
showed the letter, asking the latter to
write letter Of thanks to the Presi
dent. This her teacher declined to do,
giving as her reason that Florence
would In few weeks be able herself
to pen the lines. The child Is delight.
cd at the prospect and Is laborlng faith
fully to accomplish the task and living
In the ecstasy Of anticipation. The
President adopted an ingenious method
OF finding the address Of little Flor
ence. A letter was sent to Postmaster
Harrit asking the aid Of. his depart.
ment. Accordingly the name was
given to every letter carrier In the city,
with instructions to inquire II such a
child lived on their route. BY persist.
ent effort the girl was found.

Nature never intended people to
wash down their food while eating.
Nature wisely placed salivary glands in
various places In our mouths; they se-
crete fluid for moistening, besides a
chemical action of the food after mastl.
cation. This gets the food In suitable
condition for swallowing. Drinking
every few moments while eating pre-.
vents the usual flow OF saliva; also, 1t
washes 1t down before 1t can have a
chemical action on certain portions OF
the food One of the most pernicious
habits to health Is drinking several
glasses Of water while eating; better
drink warm drinks. The stomach will
not digest one particle Of food when 1t
has temperature below one hundred
degrees Fahrenheit; neither will 1t di.
gest one atom of food until all the fluid
Is first absorbed. No healthy person
should drink more than a half pint of
some mild fluid while taking food, and
dyspeptics should not drink drop
while eating, nor for three or four
hours afterwards.

SPORTS OF THE SEASON.

The championship game between the De-
troit and st. Louis clubs that was to have
been played to day will take place to-mor-
he call at 1880. The gates will be opened
at Oo'clcck.
The clubs Of the smaller leagues will SUI
fer to-day; for, beginning with midnightlast
night, the two great associations are at
liberty to sign oil players not protected by
the reserve list or contract OF the League or
American Association. Every League and
Association club has had agents out for the
past ten days, making arrangements with
desired players in these smaller leagues,
and securing their promise OF signing with
their clubs. Manager Mutric OF the New
York club has his eye on several players in
the Western and Northw estern Leagues,
and, II there is any truth In humanity, he
will sign them to-day. President Day Is in
Boston also for the purpose Of securing
that he will have q shy at Stagg, the Yale
pitcher, before he gets back, and try to
come to some agreement with him.
The greatness OF the competition for the
promising players Of the smaller leagues
will be understood to some extent when II
is known that manager will spend as
much as sl,0C0 or Leo In travelling ex-
penses in trying to get even single player.
The League and Association clubs will also
begin to sign their reserved players to day,
and Their, will no doubt be a lively time 10
some Of the clubs.
The Washingtons are willing to enter the
American Association In place OF Brooklyn
and allow the latter to 20 into the League.
This would be advantageous to Washing.
ton, as 1t will restore the twenty-five cent
tariff and stir up an interest In games with
Baltimore that does not now exist. One
can easily imagine the rivalry between New
York and Brooklyn with the latter in the
League. 1t only remains for Byrne to
make the right sort OF a proposition to
WashiDgton.-[B Boston Herald.
For weeks negotiations for Paul Hines
have been pending between Manager Fosel
OF indianapolis and President Hewitt OF
Washington, aud II was said yesterday that
Fogel had carried his point. Says the New
York World to-day: What the terms of the
transfer are was not made public. Paul
Hines has been an interesting figure In base
ball circles for many years, and was well
known as member OF the old Providence
team. When the Granite state Club went
out OF fexistence, Hines went to Washington,
and has been there since that city was ad-
mitted to the League Last year Hines led
the Washington Club, and ranked seventh
on the League list OF batemen, with the
average Of 3l2. In the field he ranked lf-
teenth, with percentage OF sos, made In
80 games. He is regarded as clever
player, but man hard to manage.

PUBLIC SCHOOL GLASSES.
The Proper Number of Pupils for on
Teacher to Instruct.

W ihsTutts
The question of the proper number
of pupils which each public school
teacher can teach to advantage is being
agitated by the st. Louis School Board,
and the subject has created much dis.
cussIon In other cities.
In Washington the average number
of pupils In each school.room Is fifty.
the maximum number being sixty.five
or seventy, and the minimum twenty.
five. These extremes are reached in
the country, where the population Is
not SO evenly distributed as in the
city.
Superintendent Powell said this
morning that the most advantageous
number of pupils was 40 to each
teacher. The average number In this
city Is larger because of the limited ac-
commodations In the way of buildings.
"In all large cities which grow" said
Mr.. Powell, "this Is the case. The
city invariably grows faster than the
tchool accommodations. In class of
over so pupils the teachers time,
strength and nervous force are ex-
hausted by the police duty necessary to
preserve order"
Last year the average number of
scholars In each class in the county was
40, while In the city proper It was over
90, and that Is as large class as can
be taught by one teacher to advant
age"
Mr.. Powell said that the largest
schools were in the county, and tina,
the increase In the number of pupils
there indicated that the county was
growing faster than the city proper.

A fltful wind about the caves,
That sways the creakiDg door;
The shadows OF the falling leaves
Fit past me on the floor.
The autumn skies are clear above,
But silent is their song;
oh. spirit OF the changeless love
Keep back my autumn long
In vain with gold the forest weaves
Its sylvan greenness DER;
The shadows Of the falling leaves
Fit past me on the floor.
II means the world is growing old,
1t means no birds to sing;
Oh, not for all the autumn's gold
